To Phillipine friend,I read on-line newspaper now and relieved to know that your president will remove the martial law soon.
I also read a funny story related to your president that her phone call message to the subordinate has been cynically used among citizen for their mobile phone's answering message,"Hello Mr.so and so?!",that revealed their shady negotiation,right?We also have similar thing discussed and criticized in the Congress recently,but the exchanged email in question was found to be from unreliable resource.
Anyway feel sorry that your 20th anniversary celebrating a political new-wave was cancelled because of the martial law.

In turn for the good news that Phillipine will lift its martial law soon,there is another bad news from our closer country that Taiwan government has new movement that offended many major countries especially China.I e-talked with my friend who is worrying that larger scale battle involving many countries at odds may take place like the WWIII.

According to Japan's old saying,what happened twice can be happened again.Hope our e-communication will serve as preventing it!Does your country have any other proverb that has opposite meaning from ours as proverb sometime has?God may only knows the future.
